    What kind of car would make you feel worst if you lost to it in a race?

    How many of those wet noodles daily their cars and drive them like I do? How many of them even own a set of tools, much less ever even use them? Yeah, that's what I thought. If you don't drive your super high power car and give a list of excuses half a mile long as to WHY you don't drive it, I...

    Police perception amongst the general public.

    I've generally had good experiences with LEO's, but I gotta wonder about something that could be simply contributed to human nature, but why is it when someone is a friend/family/related to an LEO, they can pull some of the most boneheaded things this side of a Jackass skit without consequence...

    Cars you'd one day like to mod...

    Definitely a cool car, gotta love when a manufacturer builds a car for a certain race class that gets phased out, huh?

    Contemplating a 7m swap into my e30 Bmw.

    Oh, and to answer your question, the 89-92 Mk3 used the round mounts, yes. I can't confirm if they're the same as the 2j mounts though.

    weird vacuum pressure

    Definitely low. Altitude plays an effect on vacuum too, but I doubt you're too high up in the mountains, surely not high enough to cause that low of a reading.

    Buying MK3 Supra after blown head gasket

    Grim brings up some good points. My personal experience would suggest that you run an Autocheck, Carfax, etc, on the car before you buy it. Nobody likes a hidden and undisclosed major accident that's been covered up. ;)

    Autocross?

    Definitely make sure your suspension is setup nicely before you get too serious. I'd be willing to bet that if IJ setup a car for autocross it would give most people a run for the money. ;)

    no more RSR GTII exhaust?

    Good luck man. One of my favorite setups for the 7m, but was a bit raspy for my 1j so I sold it. They do pop up on occasion, so don't lose all hope! :)

    Ffffffff.... Lent my Supra to my Father....

    To quote the late Mitch Hedberg: "I travel a lot, so I rent a lot of different cars. It's so hard to figure all these things out man, I don't always know where things are. So this one time I drove for like 10 miles with the EMERGENCY BRAKE on... I know that doesn't say much about me, but it...

    Guilty there. Shouldn't you be working on your house?

    Estimated power on my stock 1j?

    I dyno'd 320rwhp with stock everything but the exhaust, y-pipe, BC264 cams, and porting/polishing the head. This was at 12psi, high 10.x- low 11.x AFR's. On a stock head, 12psi, I figure you'd make 290-300whp. Between the intercooler and increased pressure, I figure you'd be in the 320whp range...

    I love wheels!

    BMW and Porsche have a lot of good looking wheels out there, but the bolt pattern is all wrong. :nono:

    Do electric cars dream of the same electric sheep that robots do?

    How to beat speeding ticket in VA school zone?

    I honestly believe that HDPE classes should be mandatory before EVER issuing someone a license. This has to be the only country in the world where you can drive around a single residential block, parallel park back at the dmv, and get handed a license. Yes, it would cost a bit more money, but...

    2jz build thoughts

    Long as you stick with the R154 or V160, you won't be killing transmissions. Clutch however, could be a different story. I suspect you'd be nearing the limits of a single plate clutch with what you're planning...

    Running hot. Can not figure out why. 2J MKIII... 240* on the highway

    Grim, I really do need to take an electrical class one of these years. :p Going with a standalone setup soon enough though, I'll keep this in mind, thanks for the diagram. :)

    Funny guy. If I didn't know any better I'd think you were either my brother or a guy I work with... :p
